Session 5 - ‘Poker Face’: In Search Of Connections and Counterintuitive Links Between AOKs and WOKs.

A competitive, yet collaborative, card game for first thing in the morning, whose aim is to help us understand the interconnections between Ways of Knowing and Areas of Knowledge, and see how present the question that arise as a result are implicit in our own disciplines!

(This will be a joint session with the Category 3 TOK for Subject Teachers participants)

Session 7 -Integrating ToK Into and With Other Subject Areas (...With An Eye On Producing ‘SEXCI’ Essays)

…without having to do more than we are already doing! Students tend to want to re-invent the wheel when it comes to ToK Assessed Essays and Presentations…but the core of these lies in what we are already learning and teaching in all our Diploma subjects.

Session 9 - The ToK Presentation, And ‘Real World’ Knowledge Issues.

Presentations routinely suffer from either a surfeit of description, or a ‘listing’ approach to the Areas of Knowledge and Ways of Knowing ‘present’ in the ‘real-world’ knowledge issue, or even from an inappropriate ‘real-world’ situation. We will, thus, be looking at ways to avoid all three common problems and, again, highlighting the help that teachers of other subjects can provide students when preparing these presentations.
